  19. The principles of Aerial Perspective- • Objects in the foreground are: • More detailed • Larger • Darker or more intense in color

  20. Linear Perspective – in the early 15th century Renaissance artist Filippo Brunelleschi developed this scientific method of creating perspective based on math and geometry. The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci illustrates One Point Linear Perspective.

  21. Linear Perspective happens automatically when you take a photograph. As in Aerial perspective, objects seem to get smaller as they move back in space.

  22. One Point Linear Perspective

  23. There are 3 types of linear perspective: • One-Point perspective • Two-point perspective • Three-point perspective 2-point perspective 1-point perspective

  24. Examples of one point perspective in Stanley Kubrick films http://vimeo.com/48425421
